A nationwide project is helping some Johnstown families keep in touch with soldiers serving overseas. It's called "Cell Phones for Soldiers." The project was started in Massachusetts after two young kids heard about a soldier's costly call home. They raised enough money to help pay his seven thousand dollar cell phone bill which was the beginning of the project. Here's how it works: People donate their used cell phones which are then recycled and turned into a cash profit. The five to one hundred dollars raised from the old cell helps buy phone cards. 600 of them have already been shipped overseas to members of the 103rd Armor Battalion serving in Iraq just last week.
